Film's hard when you don't have any relationship with the director at all and you just show up. Then you really are just a gun for hire.

In life, do you ever really know if you're missing an opportunity? No, you really don't.

I have a fine level of recognition in the business and among the acting community now, so I consider myself one of the lucky ones. If I didn't think that, there would be something wrong with me. I'm grateful and thankful for what I've got.

There's something in the very small minutia of life that tells us something about the big, big picture that we see every day all over the place, and so I think the more specific and creative and revelatory you are in the micro, the more powerful the macro will be.

The foibles of my body are pretty much out there in the work I do.

The drama nerd comes out in me when I'm in a theater.

Ultimately, I think writing is a mixture of craft, inspiration, and being incredibly, courageously explorative with yourself - and being brutally honest, too.
